After the time entered the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the sultry heat that had shrouded Chang'an City for more than two months finally dissipated a little.
The weather gradually became a little drier, and it was quite cool in the morning and evening, even though the sun was still strong during the day.
Luo Yong had basically harvested the peppers he had co-planted with others at this time.
Most of this year's batch of peppers were dried by hiring workers, and then the pepper skins and seeds were sold separately.
Chili peels are cheap, and groceries have been sold in the north and south for more than a month.
You can buy a big pack for a few pennies.
Chili seeds have not yet been put on sale.
When someone asked, Luo Yong also said that they would be on the shelves of groceries in the north and south at some time.
As for the price, he did not mention it.
This year Luo Yong cooperated with others to plant so many peppers.
After drying all the peppers and extracting their seeds, the number of pepper seeds accumulated was naturally very considerable.
How can so many pepper seeds be sold out within a few months, and the price cannot be too low?
In order to achieve this goal, Luo Yong feels that it is necessary to increase publicity in this area.
It’s just that autumn is the time when tigers are in power and the weather is hot and dry.
This season is not suitable for the promotion of chili peppers.
Luo Yong thought about it and decided to wait until the weather gets cooler.
"You have some pepper seeds left at home."
This day was the day to purchase the last batch of peppers.
Luo Yong happened to take a rest, so he went out of the city himself.
"These" farmers have helped Luo Yong grow peppers for several months.
Not to mention other things, just picking up a few overripe ones in the fields and dropped by the roadside is enough for them to save some pepper seeds at home.
At this time, Luo Yong When asked in person, they don't know how to answer.
If they say no, that would be too false.
If they say yes, it doesn't seem appropriate.
"It doesn't matter."
Luo Yong said with a smile: "I know that you are all trustworthy and did not hide the peppers at home, nor did you sell the peppers to other people behind my back.
Of course, I won't care about those bits and pieces. " "Hey, there are only two or three that are left behind occasionally.
Most of the villagers pick them up and save them for themselves."
A villager carefully answered.
They have helped Luo Yong grow chili peppers in the past few months and have made a lot of money, because the price Luo Yong buys chili peppers from them is quite high.
The villagers are not brainless.
They know that after selling these pepper seeds this year, the pepper will not be so valuable next year.
If the people in their village still want to have a good income, the best way out is to follow They have a long-term cooperation with Luo Yong.
They will grow whatever Luo Yong wants.
What they grow will be sold directly to North and South groceries.
They don’t have to worry about it at all and their income is more guaranteed.
This Lishi Luo Sanlang is not an ordinary person.
He used to plant Eucommia trees in Lishi County, but now the Duzhong trees are not ordinary valuable.
There is also the Champa rice they grew.
Now it is grown in the suburbs of Chang'an City.
It can be grown two seasons a year.
It does not need to be planted in paddy fields.
It can be grown on ordinary slopes.
Although the taste is not as good, the yield is quite high.
When the seeds of Champa rice were first introduced to the fields, they were very expensive.

Nowadays, with the addition of this pepper, in the eyes of the villagers in the suburbs of Chang'an, as long as it is grown by Lishi Luo Sanlang, there is nothing that cannot be sold at a good price.
In order to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Luo Yong, the villagers will also supervise and restrain each other.
The cooperative planting of peppers this year has also been carried out relatively smoothly.
Although there must be some private possessions, the situation is not serious.
"I won't start selling these pepper seeds for some time.
You don't want to sell them now.
We will sell them after they are put on the shelves in our shop."
Luo Yong discussed with these people.
"Of course, Saburo feels at ease," the villagers agreed.
Luo Yong's side hasn't started selling it yet, but if they sell it here first, wouldn't that be a clear way to dismantle Luo Yong's side?
"Thank you for your hard work this year.
I will come to your village again in the spring next year."
Luo Yong smiled and said to everyone.
"Sanlang, how much should we plant next year?"
someone asked loudly.
"Next year I should plant some cold melons."
Luo Yong said with a smile.
"Hangua" everyone was surprised.
The cold melon has just been introduced from the Western Regions in the past two years.
It may have appeared in the manors of those noble families in the past, but it is rare to see it among the people.
This summer, someone was selling cold melons in the West Market.
The price was quite high, but the supply was still in short supply.
Luo Yong drove the donkey cart back to the city with the team transporting peppers, leaving behind a group of villagers, some who were anxious and some who were full of expectations.
In the days that followed, as long as three or two people in these villages got together to talk, there was no one who failed to mention planting cold melons.
Luo Yong actually knew that it was not that easy to grow watermelons in Chang'an City in this era.
Watermelon is originally from Africa, and was later introduced to Persia and other places, and then spread to Xinjiang through the Silk Road.
It was rare in the Central Plains at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
It was not until the Five Dynasties that people began to plant it in various places in the Central Plains.
By the Song Dynasty, At that time, watermelon was very common.
The reason why it takes so long for the spread of a species is, on the one hand, the extremely closed environment of this era, and on the other hand, it is probably because it often takes a long time for this species to adapt to a new land.
For those who sold watermelons in the West Market this summer, Luo Yong believed that they did not grow them near Chang'an City, but in a place with a drier climate not too far away from Chang'an City, and then transported them to Chang'an City after harvesting. sell.
Watermelon is better than other fruits.
It can be stored for ten and a half days after being picked.
As long as it is stored properly, it is not easy to rot.
It's just that the transportation cost is too high, and the watermelon is so heavy.
Luo Yong now plans to grow watermelons on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and he is also mentally prepared to make no money or even lose money in a short period of time.
And he also has a cheating device.
If someone else wants to grow watermelons near Chang'an City, it may take longer to explore and cultivate them, but the space used by Luo not only contains relevant agricultural books, he even has several packets of watermelon seeds. .
The genetics of watermelon seeds like this produced by seed companies are usually not very stable.
The first generation is fine.
After the seeds are saved and planted in the second and third generations, traits often separate, and the quality of the watermelons grown is greatly affected. decline.
However, no matter how the traits are separated, those excellent genes will never disappear.
As long as the funds are in place and time is spent on slowly screening and breeding, if nothing happens, you should be able to get a variety with relatively stable traits in a few generations.
Luo Yong couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about the watermelons he grew being sold in groceries across the north and south.
In the hot summer, how can you cool down without watermelon?

Summer without watermelon is not a complete summer.
"Sister, I want to eat cold melon."
In the afternoon of this day, Siniang led Qiniang to Chonghuafang to find Aunt Luo.
Seeing these two coming, Aunt Luo was also very happy and took them to the West Market to buy a small basket of grapes.
Normally, the price is not cheap.
While stuffing grapes into her mouth, Qiniang was thinking about eating watermelon.
"The cold melons are out of season this year.
I will buy them from you next year.
The autumn pears will come out in a while.
I will buy the autumn pears for you to eat."
Aunt Luo coaxed.
Aunt Luo has done well in business in the past two years, and she has some money in her hands.
The pressure in life is less, and she is much more tolerant to the following children than before.
She no longer scolds them frequently like before.
"I want to eat frozen pears," Qiniang said happily.
"Okay, the shop here will collect some dates in a few days.
If I encounter suitable pears then, I will buy them and have them delivered to your yard."
Aunt Luo said with a smile.
It's just a few loads of pears, and it doesn't cost much. .
There are many more people planting fruit trees around Chang'an City than over there in Lishi.
When the pears come in season every year, the price is a bit cheaper than over there in Lishi.
Their place is next to the West Market, and many village vendors like to sell fruits and vegetables here.
If they come across something at a good price and suitable price, everyone will pick and choose to buy some.
Aunt Luo often buys goods by the entire truckload, and she doesn’t lower the price very much.
Over time, when many people have goods to sell, they will come to her first and ask.
The supply of goods here is better than elsewhere.
Better.
Si Niang and Qi Niang stayed here for half a day in Chonghuafang and ate a lot of grapes.
Then they carried a covered basket made of wheat straw and a few bunches of grapes to Taixue to wait for Luo Yong and Qiao Junlin. , and went home in a donkey cart with them.
The donkey cart was not very spacious, so it was a bit crowded for four people to sit together.
Qiniang was still young, so Luo Yong asked her to sit on his lap, while Fourth Niang sat in the corner holding a basket.
As the car was walking, Siniang suddenly asked: "Brother, how is Mrs.
Zheng doing now?"
Luo Yong replied: "It's good.
She doesn't raise pigs anymore.
I asked Xu Dalang and the others to arrange for her to cook in the cement workshop."
"Sister said that these covered baskets cost a penny each and are not as good as Zheng's."
Siniang muttered.
Luo Yong looked at his sister, not sure whether this guy missed the Zheng family or their hometown in Lishi.
Why did he suddenly become a little sentimental?
Could it be that he had reached puberty?
"I don't know what happened to the wheat, green beans and the others."
After a while, the girl said again.
"The next time my brother-in-law comes over, ask him to bring wheat and green peas."
When they set out for Chang'an, they originally planned to stay here for only one winter before going back, but their stay soon ended One year.

"When will my brother-in-law come over?"
Qiniang, the girl, had been quietly listening to her brothers and sisters.
When she heard that Mai Qingdouli'er could come over, she also asked.
"He won't be able to come here until after the autumn harvest.
I wrote to him in the past two days and asked him to bring wheat and green beans."
Luo Yong replied.
This matter was entrusted to Lin Wulang, and Luo Yong couldn't be more at ease.
According to Lin Wulang's temperament, in order to prevent accidents on the way, he would bring wheat and green beans into the house to sleep with him.
"Then Mrs.
Zheng can't come over?"
Qiao Junlin asked.
"She still has several children at home, and I'm afraid she won't be able to leave for a while."
In addition to her eldest daughter, who helps her sister's restaurant, Mrs.
Zheng also has three children to support at home.
Last time the people from the North and South Grocery Store went back to Lishi to transport goods, they happened to catch up with Zheng's youngest son and broke his leg.
Mrs.
Zheng went to Xu Erlang and asked him if he could take the children over and live in the two huts outside the Luo family yard.
Xu Erlang thought about it and agreed.
From then on, mother and son lived there. down.
Since Daluo Yong left, there have been no more piglets in his pig pens.
The big pigs will be killed after they have been raised for a certain period of time.
Not long after, those pig pens were also emptied, and Zheng naturally also There's no work left.
Luo Yong had thought of this a long time ago and had made arrangements with her disciples early on to arrange for her to go to the cement workshop to cook for the workers.
Their family was very economical on food and clothing, and when they saved a little money, they sent the two boys to a primary school in Xiaohe Village.
Her eldest daughter, who heard that she was working in Chang'an, also asked someone to bring some copper coins back.
Luo Yong sat in the car and talked in detail with his two little girls about the current situation of the Zheng family.
Qiniang was still young and didn't know how to think about it, but Si Niang became more and more surprised the more she heard.
"Brother, why did you even think of it?"
She thought she was only concerned about Zheng's current situation.
After all, when she was at home, Si Niang had a lot of dealings with Zheng, as well as Er Niang and Peng Er.
As for Luo Yong, he seemed to have barely spoken to Zheng.
"Otherwise you think I can't think of anything."
Luo reached out and rubbed his sister's already loose hair.
He is the head of the family.
If he can't think of these things, who else can he expect to think of them?
Luo Yong has always seen the situation of the Zheng family.
To the Luo family, Zheng was just a hired worker, but to the Zheng family, Luo Yong was definitely more than just an employer.
Although these people's excessive expectations sometimes make Luo Yong feel a little tired, he still learns to cherish and value these expectations and respond to them.
This is not too difficult for him.
